Bishop Alexander Muge died in a suspicious road accident on the Eldoret-Webuye highway in 1990. His death was blamed on state agents who were allegedly trailing him with orders to execute him. The exact spot where the accident occurred was thereafter named Stend Muge, or simply Muge. It lies about 50 kilometres from Eldoret, between Omega (the junction to Lumakanda) and Sinendet (also known as Kwa Njoroge). This spot has returned to the news after the body of a high-school principal, who was reportedly “involved in an accident” at the same spot, was found floating in the waters of River Kipkaren several kilometres away, within the same region. The body bore signs of torture and reportedly had missing fingers. Simon Isiaho, the principal of Munyuki Secondary School in Lugari, had been reported missing on November 3rd. He left home for school but never arrived. Mysteriously, a mangled wreck of his car, the vehicle he had been driving when he left home, was found at Stend Muge...

By Mwalimu Amunga President William Ruto’s recent tour of Western Kenya speaks volumes. It wasn’t just another political visit. It was a clear declaration of intent. The President is done with brokers, fixers, and self-proclaimed “kingmakers” who have long thrived in the Luhya political space. Ruto is taking full control of Western politics, just as he did in Mt. Kenya and Rift Valley. We’ve seen this movie before. In Mt. Kenya, he swept aside the political old guard, went straight to the people with his hustler gospel, and they fell in love with his message. In Rift Valley, he bulldozed through the old order and took direct charge of the ground. Now, Western Kenya is next on his list. At first glance, Musalia Mudavadi, Moses Wetang’ula, and Wycliffe Oparanya may look comfortably close to the President. But anyone reading the signs can see the truth: Ruto is preparing to move past them. The writing is on the wall: their usefulness in his grand 2027 plan is fading fast. Here...

Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya, a seasoned political figure from Western Kenya, has recently embarked on the initiative to establish a new political party aimed at uniting all leaders from the Western region under a single banner.  While publicly framed as a unifying endeavour for the people of Western Kenya, this move can equally be interpreted as a calculated strategy that undermines the Orange Democratic Movement, the party that has been central to Oparanya’s political ascent and which facilitated his appointment to the cabinet. By championing the creation of an alternative political platform, Oparanya is directly challenging the cohesion and strategic authority of ODM. His actions constitute a clear affront to the party, weakening its influence and risking the fragmentation of regional support that ODM has cultivated over the years.  The timing of this initiative is particularly sensitive, arriving at a moment when unity among party members is crucial to c...
